Adam Brooks	7691d931aa	[ARM] 2871/1: Fixes an issue with gettimeofday not working correctly on Intel IOP3xx processors Patch from Adam Brooks The current gettimeofday implementation for the IOP3xx processors reads the contents of the timer interrupt register and does math on the value to figure out exactly what time it is. To do this it multiplies the contents of the timer register with a large constant. The result is then divided by a large constant. Unfortunately the result of the first multiplication is often too large for the register to hold. The solution is to combine the two large constants to a single smaller constant at compile time. Then the timer value can be divided by single smaller constant without any overflow issues.

[ARM] 2871/1: Fixes an issue with gettimeofday not working correctly on Intel IOP3xx processors

Patch from Adam Brooks

The current gettimeofday implementation for the IOP3xx processors reads the contents of the timer interrupt register and does math on the value to figure out exactly what time it is.  To do this it  multiplies the contents of the timer register with a large constant.  The result is then divided by a large constant.  Unfortunately the result of the first multiplication is often too large for the register to hold.  The solution is to combine the two large constants to a single smaller constant at compile time.  Then the timer value can be divided by single smaller constant without any overflow issues.

[PATCH] ARM: Add SA_TIMER flag to timer interrupts

VST needs to know which timer handler is for the timer interrupt.
Mark all timer interrupts with the SA_TIMER flag.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
